i’m jealous of sharon arnold

I am always awe-struck when I come across this kind of work. The patience and control required to create cut-paper installations is truly beyond me. American artistย Sharon Arnold, on the other hand, has completely mastered this art. These pieces are from a series called “nixe, chimaera, muff”ย {the very first piece in the post is titled Nixe 2010, and is made from an 8′ roll of Strathmore drawing paper!}

    Amazing. Amazing! I love this kind of work. It reminds me of (the process, not the actual work) of Tom Friedman who is a personal hero to me! ๐Ÿ™‚

    oh and that link to the work for Chanel is gorgeous; and Tiffanie, I am super pleased to hear that you see echoes of Tom Friedman – I relate to his work and process on a very intimate level. Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚
